Flavour

Three grain-free trays in our Excellent band, built on one simple idea: a single named animal at 60% of the tray. Dried potato and peas sit behind it, and the fats are named. Chicken, duck and lamb are the recipes, fed to adults and older dogs alike, with the lamb reading highest.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept off grain
One animal named and counted, at 60% on each label
Older dogs as well as adults
Dogs bored of chicken: duck and lamb use the same short recipe
Small eaters that still need calories, at 110 to 120 kcal per 100g

Worth watching

Salmon oil on all three lists, so fish is in every tray
Fat at 36.0% of dry matter on the chicken and duck, generous for a dog already carrying weight
A short added panel, with no iodine or selenium named on any tray

All three Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A plain build of one named animal and no cereal carries all three; the lamb reads highest and the chicken lowest.

Against the range

Carbohydrate, dry matter: 6.0%; 10% on the duck, 16.0% on the lamb
Fruit and chicory: Blackcurrant, pomegranate, chicory; Kelp and basil on the other two
Fat, dry matter: 36.0%; Same on the duck; the lamb is 26.0%

The lowest-starch tray of the three, and the one with a prebiotic.

Each tray names one animal at 60%, with dried potato and dried peas as the starch and nothing else animal-derived behind it bar salmon oil. Sunflower oil and salmon oil carry the fats on all three.

The tails differ: the chicken has fruit, chicory and potato starch, while the duck and lamb share an identical list ending in kelp and basil. Fat runs from 26.0% to 36.0% of dry matter and estimated carbohydrate from 6.0% to 16.0%.
